Dell, Cisco, U S West to Roll Out Computers With Digital Modems
Round Rock, Texas, May 6 (Bloomberg) -- Dell Computer Corp., Cisco
Systems Inc., and U S West Communications Group are expected to
announce today plans to produce personal computers with high-speed
digital modems that will work using regular copper phone wires, the
on-line edition of the Wall Street Journal reported, citing no sources.
The companies said the new PCs, which will allow users to send
and receive information much faster that conventional modems, will
be available in some U S West markets this fall. Dell said it will make
Cisco's asymmetric digital subscriber line, or ASDL, modems available
in its Dimension XPS personal computers, the paper reported.
On May 4, U S West introduced high-speed Internet access in
Denver and Boise, Idaho, in the phone company's first move to
make the service available in 40 cities by midyear.
